Answer 2

Answer: $\dfrac{7}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : During his workout, Elan spent 28% of the time on the treadmill.

We know that to convert percentage into fraction , we divide it by 100.

Thus , $28\%=\dfrac{28}{100}$

Now to reduce it into lowest term , divide numerator and denominator by 4, we get

$\dfrac{28}{100}=\dfrac{7}{25}$

Hence, the fraction of his workout was on the treadmill = $\dfrac{7}{25}$
